He would have believed and done all these great things, O Lord. But we have not lost our hope. Those dreams he dreamed are, and will always be, dreams worth dreaming. We lost our teacher so many years ago. But we have not lost his wisdom. We just need Your Help a little more this year, so that we can remember how to dream and how to act in Dr. King's spirit.

And so we pray:

May we learn, Dear Lord, to reach again for that which is high.

May we be blessed to pursue justice.

May we remember the power of our convictions to change the world.

And may we be blessed to stand - now and for eternity - with overflowing love.
